Faerie contains many things besides elves and fays, and besides dwarfs, witches, trolls, giants, or dragons: it holds the seas, the sun, the moon, the sky; and the earth, and all things that are in it: tree and bird, water and stone, wine and bread, and ourselves, mortal men, when we are enchanted.

Following her godmother’s advice, the princess asked first for a dress that sparkled like the stars; the next morning she found a star studded dress lying outside her door. She next asked for a dress made of moonbeams; once again her wish was fulfilled. FInally she insisted on a dress that shone as bright as the sun. The next morning she woke to discover a golden gown of unimaginable brilliance by her door.
